Fallen Isles series.
Mira, "the Hopebearer," represents peace and unity: she was born the year a treaty was signed among the Fallen Isles nations. When Mira uncovers and reports illegal dragon trafficking, she expects action but is instead thrown into a gruesome prison. Mira's unpleasant abuse in the Pit is balanced by her fierce will to survive and her compassion for the exploited dragons in this genre-trendy new fantasy series.
